Hi jonty1 - would be interested to know how you get in with mixing your own, I am looking to tmdo this as well but will probably start out simple with nic base and a concentrate, being new to this as well thought starting from scratch looked a little complicated!

Hi wabbitwabbit - I am pretty new to this as well, and I started out in tobacco flavour buy then had a bad flavour and tried a fruit (strawberry) and have not looked back since. You have to try the different flavours, it brings a while new experience to "smoking"!! Lol

So I am trying to be good.....but failing! I am using chocolate, chocolate/cherry and have have some strawberry on standby.....I can see this becoming more expensive than smoking, especially with the shinyitus kicking in as well, I have just ordered some iClear 16s.

Nic level plays a part, but if you get a good flavour then you can cape all day

chrisde - taken on board, thanks, will start off with one bottle, need to learn a little patience!!

thanks kalbo and djs - I guess its a case of finding what works for me, trouble is I just keep going back to it, find myself vaping away without even realising! lol

LOL

Mixing is really easy it's finding recipes that you like that's difficult and the calculator at the top is so simple to use. Own mixed juice still need steeping I'm afraid.

I guess that once you get started it will be, but looking at all the information at the moment is overload!! LOL

So am i right in thinking that, using the method described by chrisde above, by buying a 100ml bottle of 18mg nic mix and a 10ml bottle of concentrate (say strawberry flavour), you could effectively make approx 12x10ml bottles of 15.3mg nic juice?

I am using anywhere from 13-15ml 8mg a day when I am at home to 2-6ml 45mg when on the road or with customers. Don't worry too much about it.

Mixing is anywhere from easy to complicated. You can start with ready bases (18mg: www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_71&product_id=1323) and just add concentrate like T-juice ( t-juice.com/pure-flavours.html) or Twisted Flavours ( www.prosmoke.de/epages/63479584.sf/de_DE/?ObjectID=44355587&ViewAction=ViewFaceted&FacetValue_CategoryID=44355587) or Pink Spot ( vapeon.co.uk/index.php?id_category=4&controller=category&id_lang=2)

All you need is a syringe with a blunt, thick needle and an empty 10ml liquid bottle.

Take an empty liquid bottle, clean it. Use your syringe and measure 1.5ml concentrate (for 15% flavouring, a good starting point for the concentrates above), put it in the juice bottle. Then fill it up to 10ml with your base. It will have a bit less than 18mg, 15.something, but should work - or you could start with 24mg base and end up around 21mg.

Now real juice construction is a tad more complicated than that, because you won't often use only one flavouring and the concentration might be higher - but you can leave that for later.

Thanks chrisde - will look into this method initially I think, been looking at Mixology and it is not easy! Using this method, do you still need to steep?

.......that seems a lot, and possibly quite expensive....?

not really, depends on where you buy your juice, good prices here

www.joosejuice.co.uk/shop/catalog/browse?sessid=WjJy4nxD7yn41K0ktzVUVbVY5yFuTL9ynOdKqdYcoD14JeRA5P0TmcLK3bGAArAB&shop_param=

and here

www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_93

many of us mix our own, works out less than £1 for 10ml

Good prices - is there a guide on here for mixing your own, had a look a the DIY products and seems a little complicated (was never very good in Chemistry, in fact I failed it!!!

)?

DiscoDes - I have been to a couple of places where I have seen people vape inside, but it still feels wrong somehow?

Dont get me wrong - my chest in general is so much better since "quitting" - my cough has gone, the wheezing has gone, I am actually starting to feel better I think - I have just noticed that sometimes when in bed mychest feels "tight", wierd feeling really......may not be related in any way! LOL
